Top Sand Beach Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Portland Downtown Waterfront

8/10 Good

"Awesome location, close to shops and restaurants. Right next to The Standard Company, a popular bakery. Only offer valet parking for $40/day and indoor pool is small. Overall, room is big and was a comfortable stay."

Clarion Hotel Portland Airport ME

8/10 Good

"It's a decent hotel in the process of doing some renovations. The restaurant does not appear to be open at the moment which was not a hardship for us. The cleaning staff was friendly and helpful. The front desk folks were great during the day. At night, while trying to call for the shuttle one night the desk did not answer at all. The next night, the clerk gave us a bit of a runaround. But the shuttle drivers were awesome and made sure we were not left stranded downtown. Would stay here again."

Hampton Inn Portland Downtown - Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Great location! You do have to pay for parking but wasn't an issue getting our car in and out. You can walk to shopping, restaurants, Eastern prom etc. Breakfast was solid for free hotel breakfast. Our daughter used the pool which was clean. Would recommend for staying in the Old Port!"
